It's not actually as bad as I thought it was gonna be. If we can get through the week still in the top 20 that'll be great. I really believe he has the ability to have a big week here though. I mean, look at Mardy Fish. Look at his 1st serve % last week. It felt like I was watching Andy last night. He's due his turn and if he can get it to all work at the same time it'll be amazing!

Thats his problem though, getting it to work at the same time, it just doesnt happen when its Murray  Not yet anyway.  But your right, he is due his turn.  Tsonga did it at AO, Mardy did it last week

Murray will eventually come good but he needs a coach to show him that raw potential alone doesnt make u a top 5 player. If he finishes in the top 8 or 10 by the end of the year i think he will have what to build on come next year and look back and learn from this years mistakes.

He will definately be able to build on this years mistakes. R1 in Aus and R4 in IW. Now there's some points he can improve on!

However bad Murray does, there's always someone who says "Next year he can gain points from it"... yawn

Yawn at me all you like Mark but how much have we gone on about the empty run up to the US Open on the last few weeks. And how much were we devistated by that injury spell last year.

Just goes to show just how much of a joke it is to follow the entry ranking from week to week. Far better to look at three months of results at one go. I mean, Andy didn't get into the top 8 after 2 MS semis in March but did after 2 months out the week of Wimbledon. Ranking means Jack! Djokovic is most certainly the best player in the world this week. But he mathmatically can't be number one till after Wimbledon!

Maybe he should hire Rusedski or Sampras to work on his serve  w00t, from what I can see that is his main downfall, he can sometimes pull through matches when it's not going right but when his serve percentage is up he's unstoppable.  I don't play tennis so I couldn't even guess why he can do it great sometimes and not others.

Updated possibilities with  the draw taken into account, and Baghdatis' withdrawal:

If Andy withdraws, loses in R64, or loses in R32:
Possibilities: 22-27
Probable: 22

If Andy loses in R16:
Possibilities: 20-26
Probable: 22

If Andy loses in QF:
Possibilities: 14-24
Probable: 19

If Andy loses in SF:
Possibilities: 11-18
Probable: 13

If Andy loses in F:
Possibilities: 11-13
Probable: 11

If Andy wins the tourny:
Possibilities: 9-11
Probable: 10

I don't know why all the guys who work out the rankings on AM.com and on MTF.com always give 5 points straight away to each player - its not guaranteed that everyone will get 5 points, because they can still withdraw and get zero points!

I suppose they're just minimising the unlikely options cause there are so many factors to deal with.
